No symbol of progress in our century is more galvanizing than electricityelectric power and the technology it has spawned. The 'invisible world' of electric energy that was emerging at the turn of the century is one we take for granted, but its influence on the growth and quality of city life was, and remains, profound. Using Chicago as a test case, Harold L. Platt investigates the emergence of an urbanbased, energyintensive society over the course of half a century in this first booklength history of energy use in the city.
